It's hard to believe the time has passed so quickly. I can't believe we found out that we were going to be parents three months ago. And now, we have only one month left

one.

not even one...

In fact, at the end of next week, A will be 37 weeks pregnant, which is considered full term.

We could truly be parents even sooner.

She is scheduled for a C-Section on July 13th. We are planning to leave on July 12th, unless we get called earlier. She has partial placenta previa, just like with her last pregnancy. Last time, she began to hemorrhage at around 36 weeks and had to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency C-Section. We are praying that doesn't happen to her this time. If she does go into labor early, we hope that it's nothing dramatic, just some water breaking and a simple trip to the hospital.

We are working on the nursery. It will be finished soon. We've put up a cute wall sticker with birds and children swinging from a tree. We purchased the crib (it's been delivered) and the bedding (also delivered... but different from what I originally posted about. We chose one with birds). Now, we just have to remove my desk, move the cats' belongings to another room, and put together the baby furniture. I would like to have it finished this week, just incase we get the call earlier than the 13th.

About Us:

We are two, happily married teachers/writers journaling our journey to build our family through the adoption process.

We are unable to conceive a child due to infertility. Though painful, it has grown us closer together, strengthened our desire to build our family through adoption, and brought us our beautiful little girl. We are journaling the excitement, fears, ins and outs of our adoption process so that others can learn from our experience.
